You can restore applications from the Recycle Bin as well as hard deleted applications. On Demand Recovery performs the following actions when restoring applications:
- If there is an application in the Recycle Bin, it is restored. After the application is restored, On Demand Recovery restores application attributes that are in the backup.
- If there is no application in the Recycle Bin, On Demand Recovery attempts to restore it from the backup.
Supported scenarios
The following scenarios are supported by On Demand Recovery:
- Restoring hard deleted applications.
- Restoring soft deleted applications.
- Restoring applications from the Recycle Bin.
Restoring Application Proxy Settings
On Demand Recovery supports the recovery of Application Proxy settings, Connector groups, and Connector group membership.
Supported scenarios
The following scenarios are supported in On Demand Recovery:
- Restoring changes to Application Proxy configuration.
- Restoring connector group membership if an Application Proxy is moved into another connector group.
- If an Application Proxy is moved into another connector group and the previous connector group was deleted, On Demand Recovery puts the Application Proxy back to the connector group with the same name.
- If an Application Proxy is put into another connector group and the previous connector group is deleted and there is no connector group with the same name, the new connector group with this name will be automatically recreated and the Application Proxy will be put into it.
Limitations
All of the Application Proxy settings can only be restored at once, granular restore of Application Proxy settings is not supported.

- On Demand Recovery does not restore user passwords.
|
Prerequisites
Backing up multifactor authentication settings is not enabled by default. You must select this option when configuring backup options.
To backup multifactor authentication settings
- Click Manage backups on the Dashboard screen.
- Select the tenant from the list and click Edit.
The Configure backup dialog opens.
- Select the Backup MFA settings option.
- Click Save.

Note:
- It is possible to determine the scope of customer IP Prefixes that can access the customer Azure AD tenant using Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Conditional Access. This option significantly reduces security risks and can be recommended for customers who want to backup multifactor authentication settings. For further information, contact Quest Support.
- Multifactor authentication must be disabled for the On Demand Recovery service account or you should add On Demand Recovery IP prefixes to the list of 'Trusted IPs'.
|
To configure Trusted IP settings, use this table to allow the following subnets for relevant region:
| US |
52.233.76.96/29
|
| EU |
13.69.216.192/29 |
| Canada |
20.104.81.8/29 |
| UK |
51.145.35.32/29 |
| Australia |
20.191.252.152/29 |

On Demand Recovery restores group licenses, which means reassignment of a license to a group after its recreation or restore from the Recycle Bin. Granular restore of the assignedLicenses attribute is supported as well.
Supported scenarios
The following scenarios are supported by On Demand Recovery:
- If a group is moved to the Recycle Bin, group licenses are restored simultaneously with the group object.
- Direct and inherited licenses for users are now distinguished.
- Inherited licenses are reassigned automatically by restoring membership.
- If the licenseAssignmentStates attribute is not present in old backups, user object assignments in Azure AD are used to distinguish inherited and direct licenses.
- The same logic is applied to the Differences report to show only one change if a group which is giving licenses was changed or deleted. In this case, the report will contain only the "Group change" or "Group deletion" action.
| |
NOTE: If you are restoring a permanently deleted user from an old backup, the user license may be assigned twice; by group and directly. |
